One of the most deadly types of car collision is the head-on crash. Even if both vehicles are equipped with airbags, and the airbags deploy, the driver and front-seat passengers of each car may still sustain significant injuries, including brain trauma, facial damage, and paralysis. Even at slower speeds, there is the potential for grievous injury. If you or someone you love had been involved in a head-on crash caused by a careless or negligent driver, you could be eligible for a large settlement. Our Memphis, TN head-on collision lawyer can help you get the money you need for quality medical care and to cover your other losses.
Many head-on collision cases are fairly straightforward, but because they’re often high-value, insurance companies take a very close look at claims that are filed. At Patterson Bray PLLC, we have extensive experience litigating tough traffic accident claims, including head-on collisions that resulted in grievous injuries. We offer a free consultation, so please call us today to book yours.
In the days following a head-on collision, you may be dazed, in a lot of pain, or even unable to take care of yourself. That won’t stop the insurance company from trying to talk you into a fast settlement, but be wary. Once you sign, you can’t go back for more money if it turns out that the settlement isn’t enough to cover all the medical care you need. That’s even assuming the insurance company doesn’t deny your claim outright, claiming that you caused the wreck.
Securing skilled legal representation from our firm is critical to protecting yourself, your interests, and your rights to full and fair compensation if you were harmed due to someone else’s negligence. Our attorneys can help protect you from predatory insurance companies that only consider their bottom line.
You’ll want to connect with our firm’s Memphis car accident attorneys regardless of whether you hope to secure a fair insurance settlement and/or file legal action. Too often, injury victims are under the impression that if they are uninterested in suing other parties involved in an accident that they don’t require legal guidance. Even if you are “only” dealing with insurance claims adjusters, it’s important to connect with our firm.
Why? Insurance companies are private enterprises. Their ultimate loyalties (as evidenced by their legal fiduciary duties to their shareholders) are not to accident victims or even to policy holders. Their ultimate loyalties are to their “bottom line.” As a result, they look for excuses to reject claims and to undervalue those that are submitted and approved. Our firm understands how insurance companies operate and we have extensive experience successfully navigating their tactics. If possible, don’t speak with any claims adjusters before speaking with us first. Anything you say now could be used as an excuse to reject or undervalue your legitimate claim.
If you haven’t already alerted our firm to your accident, please pick up the phone or request a consultation on our website. We offer free, no-risk consultations to accident victims because we believe that everyone who has been suddenly injured deserves to benefit from experienced legal guidance. Once we understand more about the circumstances surrounding your collision, we’ll be able to advise you of your legal options so that you can make an informed decision about insurance settlement approaches, filing a legal claim, etc. The choice to act or to “leave things be” always rests with you. We are here to advocate on behalf of your rights, not to “sell” you our services, as some other firms may try to do. Please don’t wait, connect with a Memphis, TN head-on collision lawyer at our firm to explore your options today; we look forward to speaking with you.
For many head-on collisions, identifying the negligent party is fairly straightforward: It’s usually the driver whose car wasn’t where it was supposed to be. A drowsy or intoxicated driver may drift into the opposite lane, hitting the oncoming vehicle. Or, a head-on crash can happen in a broadside, or “T-bone” crash, in which one car hits the side of a turning vehicle head-on. Other situations can be a little more murky. Building a strong case of negligence against the at-fault driver is critical. Our investigators may collect the toxicology reports from the other driver or analyze data from the vehicle’s “black box” (standard in all U.S. vehicles manufactured after 2014).
At Patterson Bray PLLC, we employ the services of expert witnesses to help us build our case, including accident reconstructions who can explain to a jury how the wreck happened and how the other driver caused it. We also have medical experts ready to testify about how your injuries were caused, their severity, and how much treatment will cost. Our goal is to get full and fair compensation for all your losses and protect your interests. Please contact us today for a free consultation.
